<P>
This function visits all of the vertices in the same connected
component as the source vertex <tt>s</tt>, using the <a
href="./graph_theory_review.html#sec:dfs-algorithm">depth-first
pattern</a>. The main purpose of the function is for the
implementation of <TT>depth_first_search()</TT> though sometimes it is
useful on its own.
<p>
The <tt>DFSVisitor</tt> supplied by the user determines what
actions are taken at each event-point within the algorithm.
<p>
The <tt>ColorMap</tt> is used by the algorithm to keep track
of which vertices have been visited.
<p>The second variant can be used, for example, to find all marked vertices
reachable from a start vertex by a path which does not contain any another
marked vertices.
<P>
<h3>Where Defined:</h3>
<a href="../../../boost/graph/depth_first_search.hpp"><TT>boost/graph/depth_first_search.hpp</TT></a>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
IN <tt>IncidenceGraph& g</tt>
<blockquote>
A directed or undirected graph. The graph's type must be a model of
<a href="./IncidenceGraph.html">Incidence Graph</a>.<br>
<b>Python</b>: The parameter is named <tt>graph</tt>.
</blockquote>
IN: <tt>vertex_descriptor s</tt>
<blockquote>
The source vertex from which to start the search.<br>
<b>Python</b>: The parameter is named <tt>root_vertex</tt>.
</blockquote>
IN: <tt>DFSVisitor visitor</tt>
<blockquote>
A visitor object that is invoked inside the algorithm at the
event-points specified by the <a href="./DFSVisitor.html">DFS
Visitor</a> concept. The visitor object is passed by value <a
href="#1">[1]</a>.<br>
<b>Python</b>: The parameter should be an object that derives from
the <a href="DFSVisitor.html#python"><tt>DFSVisitor</tt></a> type of
the graph.
</blockquote>
UTIL: <tt>ColorMap color</tt>
<blockquote>
This is used by the algorithm to keep track of its progress through
the graph. The type <tt>ColorMap</tt> must be a model of <a
href="../../property_map/doc/ReadWritePropertyMap.html">Read/Write
Property Map</a> and its key type must be the graph's vertex
descriptor type and the value type of the color map map must model
<a href="./ColorValue.html">Color Value</a>.<br>
<b>Python</b>: The color map must be a <tt>vertex_color_map</tt> for
the graph.
</blockquote>
IN: <tt>TerminatorFunc func</tt>
<blockquote>
A function object callable with two parameters - the descriptor of
vertex and the graph instance - and returning bool. The call is made
immediately after call to 'discover_vertex' visitor
event. If <tt>true</tt> is returned, the out edges of the vertex are
not examined, as if they don't exist.<br>
<b>Python</b>: Unsupported parameter.
</blockquote>
<P>
<h3>Complexity</h3>
Time complexity is <i>O(E)</i>.
<h3>Notes</h3>
<p><a name="1">[1]</a>
Since the visitor parameter is passed by value, if your visitor
contains state then any changes to the state during the algorithm
will be made to a copy of the visitor object, not the visitor object
passed in. Therefore you may want the visitor to hold this state by
pointer or reference.
